BYC gardening thread!!

I came across a beside the road while walking the dogs. It has tomatillo-type buds, a white flower, and alternating leaves. My phone won't upload the pic. I thought it looked cool. Found some species yarrow and what I think is called "little blue stem?" Lance like leaves with tiny blue flowers.

ETA: not blue stem. It's called "blue-eyed grass."

Dan my magnolias don't have the bee but I planted a few to see if they would help keep some of the bugs off my plants.

Corn and beans are sprouting, pumpkins are taking off, peas are taking off, and carrots are coming up. Planted some organic onions that had sprouted before I could cook them and they're taking off now. Garlic is going well and I'm assuming the radishes are sprouting alongside the carrots.

Today was alternately sunny and rain down pour. I think I can hear the veggies growing. Getting 2 good stands of carrots. First planting of pole beans starting to run. Lettuce is at that perfect tender stage. Oh how I love this time of year. A promise in every leaf!

Gorgeous! Is there anything you CAN'T grow? You have quite the green thumb!

I agree they are gorgeous!

It seems most people on have a green thumb and grow everything so beautifully.

Thanks! Actually, I'm having a really hard time with peppers, they just don't want to go for me

Sounds like everyone is have a great year for gardening!

Dan I have no idea why your peppers don't want to grow.

I planted a jalapeno pepper and now I can't find it.

I think it got swallowed up by one of my tomato plants.

My tomato's are finally starting to turn red! The epsom salts I put on them 2 days ago worked!

This Atkinson tomato plant is huge and is loaded from top to bottom all the way around!
I tried to take a pic and it's not the best, it's kind of dark at the bottom but you can still see the tomatoes.

Hey Chickadoodles, when you grew the super sweet were they oval shaped?
